SPEECH BY LORD HALSBURY.
THE OFFER OFJTHE MAORIS.
THE REMOUNTS SCANDAL.
Received January 31, 9.28 a.m.
London, January 80. Lord Halsbury, Lord Chancellor, speaking at Putney, said the war was still proceeding. The Boer delegates repudiated the idea of peace, yet pro. Boers advised the offer of terms. Ho believed in doing what we are doing with all our might. The Government was determined to end the war, but to so end it that it would never recur ; to bring not an insufficient but a lasting peace. The eagerness on the part of the Maoris to help was an additional tribute to Britain's principles of freedom, equality, and kindness to every race under the flag. The House of Commons Committee acquits British officers of bribery and corruption in connection with Hungarian remounts, though it admits there was blundering.
